Official NBA Game 7 Thread

Pistons have been missing so many easy shots so far. Hunter is clanking almost everything so far. I don't think he's going to have another heroic performance tonight. Lets go McDeiss!

Edit: Lets call a million fouls ref. That's what everyone wants to see.

Seriously, this game is UGLY. Boooorrrrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg.

Also, I believe it was Sports Guy who said they should invent a new stat for Hunter. Basically, it's a ruined offensive posession. Not a turnover, rather an airballed jump shot, or a missed lay-up, or a pass to the guy in the 3rd row.

The more I watch Hunter play, the funnier that observation is.

Good if you needed a nap. After two great games, this one has been a yawner so far.

San Antonio can't win the way they're playing. They have no offensive movement whatsoever. Standing around like that, they'll get blown out in the second half with Billups back in the line-up.

Detroit by 6.

Detroit is playing against the referees, and winning.

Duncan wakes up a bit, they put Bowen on Billups, and all of a sudden the tide seems to be turning.

Give Duncan credit. He had no touch, no feel at all, I thought something was wrong with one of his hands, he couldn't even seem to hold onto the ball. But he kept working, working, and put together a nice quarter to get his team back in the game.

Tied at the end of 3. I still like Detroit to pull away.

Edit in the 4th quarter: Oops. See why I don't bet sports?

Detroit cannot win this game with this lineup. The early ticky tack fouls have killed them. Bowen is shutting Chauncey down (how did it take them so long to make this switch??) and Rip cannot take anyone one on one. They need Rasheed or McDeiss in there with Ben at all times. Having two great big men on Duncan at once has been the only thing keeping him contained. Someone is going to have to step up, and they're going to have to pray that the refs don't decide to continue to decide this game.

Speaking of the refs, they actually made two phantom foul calls on the Spurs in a row, so at least they're horrible on both sides. The officiating has been a joke all series, and it's culminating here.

Hubie Brown said it. Rasheed must have a good 4th.
